CINTECH SOLUTIONS LTD

Their core work

Cintech Solutions is a Cyprus-based technology SME specializing in software and data solutions for the European electricity grid. They build tools for cross-border energy trading, grid congestion management, and TSO-DSO coordination platforms. More recently, they have moved into big data analytics and blockchain-based data governance for energy systems, combining IT expertise with deep domain knowledge of European energy markets and network codes.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Cintech entered H2020 in 2019 focused on the regulatory and operational side of European electricity markets — network codes, congestion management, wholesale market design, and cross-border power flow optimization. By 2020-2021, their focus shifted toward digital infrastructure: blockchain-based data governance, privacy-preserving federated learning, and edge computing for grid reliability. This trajectory shows a company moving from energy market domain expertise toward the software layer that underpins next-generation smart grids.

Cintech is evolving from an energy market specialist into a data-driven grid intelligence company, making them increasingly relevant for projects combining energy systems with advanced digital technologies.

How they like to work

Cintech operates exclusively as a participant — they have never coordinated a project, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing technical components to larger initiatives. With 151 unique partners across 30 countries in just 4 projects, they consistently join large-scale Innovation Action consortia (all 4 projects are IAs). This suggests they are valued as a reliable technical contributor in major European energy demonstrations rather than a project leader.

Despite only 4 projects, Cintech has built an extensive network of 151 partners across 30 countries, reflecting the large-scale nature of pan-European energy market projects. Their reach spans nearly all EU member states, with no apparent geographic concentration beyond their Cyprus base.

What sets them apart

Cintech sits at an unusual intersection: deep understanding of European energy market regulations (network codes, TSO-DSO coordination) combined with modern data engineering skills (blockchain, federated learning, edge analytics). For a small Cyprus-based SME, their involvement in three of Europe's flagship grid integration projects (INTERRFACE, FARCROSS, OneNet) signals strong trust from major energy consortia. They would be a strong partner for anyone needing software solutions that bridge energy market rules with real-time grid data systems.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FARCROSS
  Largest funding (EUR 698k) — focused on enabling cross-border electricity transmission through power flow controllers and dynamic line rating.
• INTERRFACE
  Addressed the critical TSO-DSO-Consumer interface challenge, building architecture for pan-European grid services and market integration.
• BD4NRG
  Marks Cintech's pivot to digital — blockchain, federated learning, and big data analytics applied to energy grid management.
